DS1 is in yr 10. He's an OK student but never going to set the world on fire academically. But well-behaved and happy. But in the last few years he has started to really enjoy music - he is already getting grade A marks for much of his work. At the end of last year he and his band performed in a competition in school. They won by a huge margin - they were pretty amazing even though I say it myself and even the music teacher was impressed. Their 'prize' was a chance to record some music at the college. And to perform their song again during the Yr9 awards ceremony
Now the head is a wonderful HT. Very dedicated and enthusiastic. But a little old-fashioned. She didn't turn up to listen to the competition until the last 20 mins or so and was very cat-bum-mouthed the entire time. She also told the pupils 'to show their appreciation by clapping in the normal manner' because she didn't like them standing up and cheering etc. I don't think she's a fan 
Anyway upshot of this was that the band didn't get to peform at the awards ceremony - vetoed by head. And the competition and the fact they are set to record at the college after christmas has not featured in any of the newsletters since then, and didn't even merit a mention in the 'review of the year' that we received yesterday. And considering that generally you only have to fart in an interesting manner to get into the newsletters normally
that is a big oversight IMO.
AIBU to think that this a poor show and that the band should peform on the corridor outside her office until she deigns to notice them?
